More Than One Way to Close It
What Causes a Gap Between Teeth?
A gap between teeth, known as a diastema, is most common between the two upper front teeth, though it can appear anywhere. It can come from a natural mismatch between the size of your teeth and the size of your jaw, leaving extra space; from a prominent band of tissue called the labial frenum that sits between the front teeth; from teeth that have drifted because a neighboring tooth is missing; or from longstanding habits like tongue thrusting.
Many people love their gap and choose to keep it — and that is completely fine. But if the space bothers you cosmetically, traps food, or seems to be widening over time, it is very treatable. The right option depends on the size of the gap and especially its cause, because closing a gap without addressing the underlying reason can allow it to reopen later.
As a practice founded by board-certified orthodontist Dr. Kevin Baharvand, Tribute Family Dentistry in Frisco can close gaps cosmetically with bonding or veneers, or move the teeth together with clear aligners — whichever gives you the best, most stable result. For trusted background, see the ADA’s overview of orthodontics.
How We Close Gaps Between Teeth
Dental Bonding
For a small gap, tooth-colored bonding can close it in a single visit — quick, affordable, and natural-looking.
Veneers
For a lasting cosmetic change, veneers reshape the front teeth and close gaps for a polished smile.
Clear Aligners
When the bite is involved or gaps are larger, Invisalign moves teeth together for a stable, lasting result.
Treating the Cause First
If a frenum or missing tooth caused the gap, we address that first so the gap does not reopen after treatment.
Replacing a Missing Tooth
When a gap is from a lost tooth, a dental implant or bridge fills the space and stops shifting.
A Plan Built for You
We walk you through every option — cost, timeline, and look — so you can choose with confidence. See our cosmetic dentistry.
Should You Close Your Gap?
- It is entirely your choice — many people keep their gap
- Consider treatment if food traps in the space
- Consider it if the gap is widening over time
- Consider it if it affects your confidence
- An exam ensures the fix lasts and will not reopen

What to Expect at Your Visit
We examine the gap and the teeth around it, check your bite, and look for the cause — a large frenum, a size mismatch, a drifting tooth, or a missing one. This matters because the cause determines which solution will hold. We then talk through what you want your smile to look like.
Based on that, we lay out your realistic options side by side — bonding for a quick, economical fix; veneers for a lasting cosmetic change; or clear aligners to actually move the teeth together — including the cost, timeline, and longevity of each. With an orthodontist in the practice, you get honest guidance on whether to simply cover the gap or close it properly so it stays closed.
Why Choose Tribute to Close Your Gap
Because our practice is founded by a board-certified orthodontist, we can tell you honestly whether bonding, veneers, or aligners will give the best, longest-lasting result for your particular gap — and we handle whichever you choose right here.
Things to Know About Closing a Gap
- Bonding is the fastest and most affordable option for small gaps
- Veneers give a lasting change but involve more of the tooth
- Aligners physically move teeth, often the most stable result
- Treating a frenum or missing tooth first prevents reopening
- A retainer may be recommended to keep teeth in place
The best option depends on your gap’s size and cause. A quick consultation gives you a clear recommendation. Call (469) 598-1021.

Gap Between Teeth FAQs
How can I close a gap between my teeth?
Gaps can be closed with dental bonding for small spaces, veneers for a lasting cosmetic change, or clear aligners when the bite is involved or the gap is larger. The best option depends on the cause and size.
Do I need to fix a gap between my teeth?
Not necessarily. A gap is a personal choice and many people keep theirs. Treatment is worth considering if food traps in the space, the gap is widening, or it affects your confidence.
Will a closed gap stay closed?
It can, as long as the underlying cause is addressed. A prominent frenum or a missing tooth should be treated first so the gap does not reopen, and a retainer may be recommended after aligner treatment.
Is bonding or Invisalign better for a gap?
Bonding closes a small gap quickly and affordably in one visit, while Invisalign actually moves the teeth together for a stable result and can improve the bite. We help you weigh look, longevity, and cost.
Can a gap come back after treatment?
It can if the cause is not addressed or if retainers are not worn after aligner treatment. We identify why the gap formed and include a plan to keep it closed.
Do you close teeth gaps for patients near Frisco?
Yes. We treat gaps for new and existing patients from Frisco, The Colony, Little Elm, and Prosper with bonding, veneers, and aligners. Call (469) 598-1021.
